Procedure
Legal basis: 32014L0024
Justification for the framework agreement:
EduCampus is brokering a solution from which any of the Higher Education institutions in Ireland can avail of. The Academic Credentials application requires significant detailed integration with the various EduCampus client community Student Records Management Systems and major modifications to the integrated application and service, once in place, will have a substantial impact on the EduCampus client community stakeholders (i.e. students, staff and alumni). . Furthermore, given the complex IT security elements that are required, any lesser term arrangement has the potential to be disruptive and detrimental to EduCampus clients and their stakeholders. Thus, a framework agreement will be awarded for 7 years, with an estimated value of up to €25 million for all call-off contracts within the framework..
